Re: Broken Piston Bits in Sump
A few years ago I sent a set of heads to Zims for a rebuild. One of them ended up being machined incorrectly. I lost a whole summer chasing the issue and then was made to wait 2 weeks while they fixed their error. There is a thread somewhere on this forum about it all. I guess having all of right tools isn't everything.

Al, without speculating regarding the cause of your misspelling my name after some 20 years dealing with you, let me offer you the spelling my Dad gave me:Martin Benade wrote: ↑Sun Feb 17, 2019 12:18 am[...]Another thing easy to obtain is the correct spelling of LaDow.
Upper case "L", lower case "a", upper case "D", lower case "o" and "w".
That's LaDow.
I hope that clears things up.
And, as mentioned above, I'm quite sure there are accomplished hobbyist-wrenches who do as good a rebuild as your shop or any other can deliver.
